BEAUTY: More Playboy Make Up - Lipstick and Polish

BEAUTY: More Playboy Make Up - Lipstick and Polish

Thursday, 17 April 2014

After the launch party last week, Playboy Make Up got in touch to ask if I'd like to try some of the polishes as well, of course I agreed as I was pretty upset that I didn't get a better look at them at the event! I was sent there two pretty reds. I'm not normally a fan of red, unless it's glitter, then I'm crazy for them. I think my dislike of the colour comes from growing up and watching all of my mums older customers go for red (she's a nail technician), it's just stuck with me that red is an old lady colour.

Saying that, this one is a great tone, it's a very bright, young, red! As for the other one - if there's glitter in it, I'm going to like it regardless.

The red polish is quite thin which is very odd because one coat seems to cover it enough. The glitter is a red glitter in a red polish so one coat will cover the nail although it if you the glitter thicker like I do then it's fine to keep layering up until you are happy.

I am actually really impressed with these two and will be looking forward to trying some of the other colours!

 They also sent me a few of the lipsticks which was very kind! All very pretty colours, again, bright and young and a great coverage. I also love the packaging.

BEAUTY: New Relseases From GOSH

BEAUTY: New Relseases From GOSH

Tuesday, 8 April 2014

The girls at GOSH were kind enough to send me a out a little goodie bag of their new products when I couldn't make their launch a few weeks back, I've been so busy interning that I haven't had time to have a proper look at them until today so here's what I thin:

Polishes

I was sent 05 Frosted Rose and 07 Frosted Soft Coral. The range is surprisingly thick for a glitter polish, one coat was more that enough and that is saying something when three layers is normally not thick enough. I still went in for a second coat to see what would happen - the whole nail was completely covered, no gaps what so ever. I like this polish haha although I'm not too big on these two colours, I'd love to try some of the brighter shades.

Lips

I was sent the lacquers in 006 and 002 - Funky Lips and Lovely Lips. I did think they were nail polished at first haha but their not, they're just like cute little lip gloss/lipstick hybrid. They have a sponge wand and the colours seem to come out quite deep which I quite like, they're very smooth and nice and glossy and they're enriched with Argan oil and Vitamin E to keep your lips soft and nourished!

Eye Shadow Sticks

I was also sent 2 of these to try out - 03 Light Copper and 05 Grey! Any make up in pen form is so easy to use, you have alot more control on when the product goes and when it runs out, you just wind some more up! They are soft and shimmery and quite creamy and they stay on really well! These get a thumbs up from me!

BEAUTY: W7 For Valentines Day

BEAUTY: W7 For Valentines Day

Wednesday, 12 February 2014

A girl's gotta look good for a date right?! W7 sent me over a few of their valentines day pieces, all pretty and pink. We've got a lip-gloss, a lipstick and 2 polishes.

As you may already know, I'm a big fan of the W7 polishes, they have one of the biggest ranges of colours and the coverage isn't too bad either. On these swatches, I've only done two coats, you can see how they would look, applied normally. I'm not so normal, if it were me, I would do 3 or 4 coats as I like my nail colours to be really deep and thick.

The hot pink one is number 104 - Strawberry Daquari (which just so happens to be my favourite cocktail, yum) and the lighter one is number 107 - Pink Pearl. They both have a fine shimmery gold toned glitter in them. As always, the bottles are nice and big and the brush is easy to use. I'm definitely looking to get rid of the black and go for something girly and glittery for valentines!

As for the lipstick, I am loving the new sleek black packaging. W7 have repackaged their lipstick with a bright pop of the colour at the bottom. The lipstick itself has W7 embossed on the top, but that wear down pretty fast once you start to use it. It had quite a bit of glitter in it for a lipstick and has a strange but pleasant smell, I just wasn't expecting it to smell like that. It's called Negligee.

This is one of the Get Glossed collection and its called Day Dream, its a kind of bubble gum pink colour and it has a really lovely scent. It's quite a thick consistency and nicely pigmented. I'm not altogether a huge lipgloss fan, I hate the whole 'wind blows, hair sticks to lips thing' it drives me crazy.

1 Days 'Till V Day!
